Being said you have chinese and carolina ooths, they are likley collected in the wild. This is common if you bought them off ebay or something where they collect them in the wild. Parasitic wasp will attach to the female and wait for her to lay the ooth, then the wasp will pump its eggs inside the ooth, when the wasps hatch they feed on the unhatched nymphs making the ooth useless, then the wasp drill small holes and exit the ooth. They look like ants but have a long tail like a antenna.  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
